Do you know the difference between bio-degradable and compostable? No? Then this weeks podcast should be top of your playlist as this week we’re chatting to Adios Plastics - an eco-friendly dog waste bag producer.

Ben, the founder talks us through how the concept was developed and the hurdles he’s had to overcome to get the business up and running. Whether you have a dog or not you’ll want to tune in this week if you have an interest in all things sustainable as we deep dive into plastic use and composting.

It wouldn’t be The Dog Hang podcast if we didn’t also talk about Ben’s dog: Luna the Golden Retriever. We talk about his extra early starts, the joys of owning a puppy and why Ben settled on a Golden Retriever for his first dog.

Naturally, people have misconceptions about the effectiveness of compostable poo bags so we get into the science behind them and answer questions such as: do they smell? Where do you dispose of them? Will they split? We discuss this as well as the potential for owning a wormery and where to locate you compost heat.

If you want to get hold of Ben you can check out the website (www.adiosplastic.co.uk) or reach out on social media using @adiosplastic on Facebook and @adios_plastic Instagram. Adios Plastic offer free samples (postage only 99p) if you want to trial making the switch
